AI-generated summary
For a short run of Cat5e, this Lenovo-branded 0.6m blue cable is a perfectly sensible, low-drama option. If you’re doing quick patching behind desks, in patch panels, small rack tweaks, or replacing a snagged lead where you *know* you only need a short link, buying a known, reseller-friendly brand can be worth it versus “mystery pack” cable. At £61.90 ex-VAT, though, it’s only a good deal if you truly need that exact length and don’t have to buy a whole reel (or if you’re topping up a small number of patch cables for a tidy deployment).
I’d be cautious if you’re cost-sensitive on a bigger rollout. Most of the time, for basic Ethernet runs, the main value is reliability and consistency—and at this price, you’re paying for the convenience/branding more than performance. If you’re building a cabinet’s worth of patching, you’ll usually get better value by sourcing Cat5e (or moving up a category if your network plan allows) in bulk in fixed lengths that match your layout. Buy this if you want a short, branded replacement and minimal hassle; skip it if you’re trying to spec network cabling on a budget.
